Fading Into Obscurity

Fading Into Obscurity

I wanted it to reach out and grab the viewer, it deals with what we as human beings go through with life and how some times it just pulls us into a darkness where alot of people just fade away into their mind never to return.

Thank you for viewing my work.

    Not at all Mel, the photo of the figure was done last year and was taken with my camera phone. It was for a project that I was doing in Graphic Design and mine was to be of the art form DADA. My project contained alot more in it than just the photo of the figure and consisted of around 70 layers in Photoshop, I got an A for the class.
